The onlookers murmured, “So, she’s the top socialite in Northville. She’s stunning, but it’s a shame she’s a killer. After three years behind bars, her life is probably over.

“What’s the point of her beauty if she’s so ruthless? I heard Dylan Clifford, the heir of the Clifford family, put her behind bars himself. Everyone in Northville knows how much Audrey Hernandez was infatuated with him.

“Not only did her fiancé break up with her, but he also personally had her imprisoned. I heard the Hernandez family even disowned her. If I were her, I’d have given up. How can she still show her face to the world?”

In Northville Prison.

Sarah Hernandez gazed at Audrey, clad in prison attire, a smug expression crossing her face. “Audrey, it must be awful to be sent to prison by the man you love the most. I came here specifically to see you and share some good news. I’m getting engaged to Dylan.”

“Is that so? Congratulations,” Audrey replied, her face pale and indifferent as she cast a cold gaze at Sarah, her half–sister. When Dylan had personally placed the handcuffs on her, her heart had shattered.

“Audrey, you should understand that from now on, everything that was once yours – the title of the top socialite, being Mrs. Clifford, the status of Miss Hernandez – it all belongs to me.

“Perhaps you didn’t realize, but Dylan has always loved me. You were just a nuisance to him. Enjoy your time in prison.” Sarah laughed triumphantly, finally feeling victorious over the woman she had always envied.

“Sarah, tell him I no longer want him. He means nothing to me from now on,” Audrey replied coldly.

As Sarah left the prison, she made a phone call. “It’s me. Have her transferred to a men’s prison. Ensure she faces some hardship,” Sarah instructed coldly.

With that, a malicious smile crept onto her face as she thought wickedly, ‘Audrey, you’re going to wish you were dead in there.”

A tall, slender figure stood by the window, his eyes akin to twinkling stars, his brows stern, and his exquisitely handsome face exuding an air of indifference. His entire demeanor spoke of inherent nobility and authority. Merely by his presence, he exuded a commanding aura that sent shivers down others‘ spines.

After a long silence, Dylan’s icy voice echoed in the study. “What else did she say?”

Behind him, Sarah, adorned with delicate makeup, gazed affectionately at the noble and handsome man before her. “Audrey said she doesn’t want you anymore. She’s done with you,” Sarah stated, attempting to discern his reaction but finding his expression inscrutable.

Sarah bit her lip, feeling a mix of infatuation and frustration. ‘Without Audrey, this most noble man in Northville would be mine, she thought.

After a long pause, the cold, noble man spoke again. “Richard, throw her out. She is not to set foot in Clifford Mansion ever again.”

Sarah’s face turned pale as she looked at him in shock. “Dylan,” she uttered, her voice trembling with disbelief.

“Richard!” Dylan’s voice grew colder. The next moment, Richard Jackson, clad in black, escorted Sarah out.

“Get Dr. Freeman here,” Dylan commanded again.

“Yes, sir.”

Shortly after, a doctor arrived. “Mr. Clifford,” Dr. Freeman greeted respectfully.

“Do whatever it takes to restore my memory,” Dylan said firmly.

Seven years later.

“Audrey, wake up!” Brian Hernandez exclaimed.

Audrey was abruptly awakened from a nightmare, still haunted by the shadowy figure that seemed to engulf her entirely. Since inhabiting this body, the nightmare had recurred frequently, causing her to furrow her brow in irritation.

“Audrey, did you have a nightmare again?” Brian inquired.

The woman, whose typically icy features now softened, displayed a rare warmth as she gently patted the head of the little boy beside her. “Yes. Are we almost there?”

“Yes, we’ll land in about half an hour,” Brian replied.

At Northville Airport.

A stunning woman and a handsome young boy walked out, drawing the gaze of numerous passersby.

The woman donned a black, waist–cinching dress that accentuated her slender legs and shapely figure, rendering her a captivating sight. Her exquisite features and aloof

demeanor exuded an aura of nobility and detachment.

Beside her, the boy, aged around five or six, possessed an equally exquisite face, exuding a cool and impressive demeanor as he pushed a large suitcase.

Shortly after, a black SUV pulled up, and the two got in.

Not far behind, inside a black sedan, someone exclaimed in surprise, “Look at that woman. Doesn’t she resemble Audrey?”

Cade Smith stared in disbelief at the scene ahead. “After vanishing for years, she’s returned.”

Two other young men glanced ahead, catching sight of Audrey’s stunning face, and couldn’t help but click their tongues in admiration. Three years behind bars, four years vanished, and now she’s back, they thought.

“Should we inform Dylan?” Cade asked, feeling conflicted.

“You think Dylan isn’t aware she’s back? Stop worrying, and let’s move.” Shawn- Longman glanced at the departing SUV, noting the impressive license plate but unable to discern who had picked Audrey up.

In the SUV.

“How come you’re back all of a sudden?” Jessica Miller asked, glancing at the mother and son in the back seat.

“To save someone,” Audrey said, her gaze fixed outside the window, her exquisite face. carrying a trace of nonchalance and indifference.

“Anyone who can bring ‘Magic Hand‘ back must be someone significant,” Jessica

“Convenient timing for a side mission, huh?” Jessica chuckled, then turned to the little boy beside her. “Brian, want to visit my research institute?”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“No, Lucas said I must protect Mommy at all times. Otherwise, he’ll cut off my supplies,” Brian insisted.

“With your mommy’s capabilities, no one in Northville can touch her,” Jessica remarked. She knew better than anyone how formidable Audrey was. Even with the entire Aripany Research Institute at her disposal, she might not be a match for Audrey.

“Lucas said we must always be vigilant. If Mommy gets taken away, Lucas and I will be motherless,” Brian said, wondering, ‘Especially since the big bad guy who once hurt. Mommy is still in Northville. We can’t afford to let our guard down!”
